More on Halloween by Darren Austin Hall In the Pagan Wheel of the Year, Samhain/Hallowe'en is one of the eight seasonal festivals when we gather to honour the spiritual rhythms of our world. On this day, when the veil between worlds is thin, it is also a time to honour the ancestors, the dearly departed. It is also a time of powerful divination, as we are open to the influences of the Faeirie realm of spirits and mysticism, as well as receiving messages from our ancestral connections. It is also a time to honour the final harvest as we pray for warmth and blessings to keep us nourished and alight in the further descent into the holy darkness of Autumn and the onset of Winter, which is honoured in the rebirth of the light of the Winter Solstice. As the leaves continue to fall, leaving trees barren, so are we invited to release what no longer serves to make space for new growth. >>> Schedule - 7 pm - Doors Open 7:30 - Cacao / Land acknowledgement 8:00 - Matty Ryce 9:15 - Cacaoboy 10:30 - Kirtan 11:45 - Soulove 1:00 - Peter Arcari >>> Live Art - Live Painting Visual Prana Self Reflectron >>> ENERGY Exchange - Early Birds - $25 General Admission - $30 Door - $40 DOUBLE TICKET - Oct 28th / Oct 31st events - $50 >>> LOCATION - Holy Trinity Church - 10 Trinity Square, Toronto, ON M5G 1B1 What is Chocolate Groove?
